A #GlutenFree Pork Roast made with Meyer's Smoke House Dry Rub and Prosecco

So as you know we have a fabulous giveaway going on until September 12, 2012 with Meyer's Smokehouse. When I first received my fabulous BBQ extravaganza feast from Meyer's smoke house. I was lucky enough to have defrosted a Pork roast the night before. So I was very lucky and I quickly started my Pork Roast.

I love to make a roast because it's a meal that keeps on giving! With this roast I also made a Pulled Pork Sandwich which I will post on Tuesday plus a Pork Enchilada Casserole similar to my Chicken Enchilada Casserole that I will post Thursday.

Tip of the day: Buy a extra large pot roast and cut it in 2 pieces and freeze when on sale then you have 2 dinners that won't go to waste. 

A Pork Roast made with Meyer's Smoke House Dry Rub and Prosecco Ingredients:

1 Pork Roast

3 tablespoons of your favorite Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 tablespoons Texas BBQ Rub

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 bottle of Prosecco ( minus one glass for me to enjoy while you are cooking)

3 cups water

1 Jar of Meyer's BBQ sauce for garnish

Equipment Needed:

Meat Thermometer

Roasting Pan w/ rack

Foil for Roast so doesnt dry out.

Take Pork Roast out of freezer and defrost to room temperature, then add olive oil.

Next add Meyer's Texas BBQ Dry Rub.

Pour Water and Prosecco in bottom of Pan. But make sure you pour yourself a glass first. I strongly believe if you don't like the taste of the wine when it's in the glass you won't like it infused into your food.

Place a Meat Thermometer into the center of the roast. Not everyone's oven cooks the same so I strongly recommend you buying one of these.  Cook until it reaches 151 degrees. then let sit for 20 minutes before slicing up.

Enjoy,

#GlutenFree Penne hot salad with basil, asparagus, cherry tomatoes fresh mozzarella and chicken with a mustard vineagarete for #SundaySupper

So I love a great Salad that you can either serve hot or cold and after I received a case of  tomatoes;  I knew exactly what I would make for #SundaySupper.  A salad that reminded me of Summer in a bowl but with a twist of Italy.

Ingredients for Penne hot salad with basil, asparagus, cherry tomatoes fresh mozzarella and chicken with a mustard vinaigrette:

1 Bag of cooked Penne Gluten free of course I used Trader Joe's Brown Rice Penne
1 cup of sliced  in half cherry tomatoes
2 cups slightly cooked asparagus
1/2 cup basil sliced and or chopped
2 cups of fresh Mozzarella cubed
2 cups chicken from either left overs or a rotisarie chicken



Summer in a Bowl Dressing:
3 Tablespoon Brown Gulden's Mustard
1/4 cup Aged Balsamic Vinegar
2 Large cloves of garlic grated on planer to make paste
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
½ cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cook Pasta according to directions I like to boil 7 minutes string constantly then let sit for 3 on murky water then rinse in hot water.

Cut asparagus and put in pan cover with water until it boils than immediately pour cold water over so it stops cooking. I like to put mine in a colander then run under water until cold to the touch.

In a measuring cup mix first 6 ingredients together than whisk in olive oil so it emulsifies

Slice tomatoes, mozzarella, basil  and chicken and place in bowl

Next add cooled a asparagus

then pasta and toss with mustard vinaigrette.

Let vinaigrette sit  and soak up pasta for about 5 to 10 minutes then serve.


Also don't forget tonight is Sunday and what does that mean it's time to gather around the #Sunday Supper table.

So I turned to the #SundaySupper team and asked them what their favorite items to bring to a Labor Day Cookout.  As usual, they did not disappoint.  I am telling you, if you ever need inspiration or a new recipe, this is the group to come to.  They will blow you away with their recipes.

Join us this week around the family table for our #SundaySupper and we will share with you our favorite cookout recipes .  We hope to inspire you with these fabulous recipes from our talented contributors.  We will be sharing them all day long and would love for you to share your favorite cookout recipes during our #SundaySupper live chat at 7pm ET.

#GlutenFree Seared Lamb on a bed of Mashed potatoes with Artichoke Hearts. #SundaySupper

So this #SundaySupper we are celebrating back to school and my Miss J happens  to love this dish. So in honor of Miss J starting school on Tuesday I thought this would be the perfect dish to serve. It's quick, (less then 20 minutes including the mashed potatoes) and easy and it looks fancy but it's not! The other night I was at the grocery store and I noticed the organic lamb chops were on sale so I quickly grabbed a couple and brought them home for dinner. I love Lamb chops however they are a huge treat in our house because they cost so much!

So I quickly seasoned them with salt and pepper.

Then I pulled out my frying pan and decided to sear them with some marinated artichoke hearts. They were simply divine.

Ingredients
8 lamb chops
1 cup of Marinated Artichoke hearts
Salt and pepper to taste.
2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Mashed Potatoes

 Cut Lamb chops apart then season with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan with oil add chops and Artichoke hearts.

 Turn when golden brown these cook quick so only a minute or two depending how you like them cooked.

Serve on a bed of Mashed Potatoes

Plus I still have my #giveaway going on don't forget to enter to win a 12" Stir Fry wok w/ @Circulon
